HC Deb 25 April 1983 vol 41 cc211-2W
Mr. Heddle

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 21 April in the matter of Mr. K. K. Abrol (a) whether he has yet requested independent medical advice, (b) whether he has asked for this advice to be submitted to him by a particular date and (c) in view of the length of time the matter has been outstanding if he will take all possible steps to reach an early decision.

Mr. Mayhew

Letters have been sent on my right hon. Friend's behalf to two medical experts seeking early advice on Mr. Abrol's case. We will ensure that, once their views have been obtained, any unnecessary delay in reaching a final decision is avoided.
